Intel Xeon 3040 Dual Core Processor 1.86GHZ LGA775 2MB 1066FSB Retail Processor

Intel Xeon 3040 Processor BX805573040
The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 3000 series, Intel's newest dual-core processor for single/uni-processor (UP) servers, delivers a new level of energy-efficient performance from the innovative Intel® Core? microarchitecture, optimized for low-power, dual-core, 64-bit computing. The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 3000 series is ideal for first time small business server computing needs. Combined with the Intel® S3000/S3200 chipset family and ECC DDR2 memory technology, the new Dual-Core I ntel Xeon processor 3000/3200 series-based platforms are expected to deliver up to 3 times the performance and 3.5 times the performance/watt of previous-generation single-core Intel® Xeon® processors.

The Ideal Entry-Level Server
Our entry-level server platforms with dual processors and the Intel 3000 chipsets are ideal for value-conscious organizations looking for their first server or small HPC cluster with a close eye on their budget. These platforms offer industry leading performance coupled with Intel reliability to help drive your big ideas non-stop, but are, dependable, and efficient to set up and manage, providing trouble-free operation and ensuring that your operational needs are met at every stage of your business growth.

Protect your Critical Data and Assets
Platforms based on the Intel 3000 and 3010 chipsets support Error Correction Code (ECC) memory for a high level of data integrity, reliability, and system uptime. ECC can detect multiple-bit memory errors and locate and correct single-bit errors to keep business applications running smoothly.

Intel Matrix Storage Technology with integrated RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 accelerates data access to support high user productivity, and protects business operations by allowing recovery of data in the event of a hard drive failure. Intel Matrix Storage Technology is built into the Intel® 82801GR I/O controller hub (ICH7R). The ICH7R also supports both Serial ATA (SATA) at 3 GB/s with Native Command Queuing for high-speed disk access, and legacy parallel hard drive interfaces for versatility in a high-performance, entry level server platform.

Reduce Management and Maintenance Costs
Intel Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) helps keep business owners focused on their business with support for efficient management and maintenance of their servers. Intel Active Management Technology enables a company or its IT vendor to easily deploy, maintain, and repair server problems to help reduce management costs. Intel AMT provides users with effective tools to:

• Discover hardware and software.
  
• Diagnose and heal systems remotely, whether the system is running, powered down, or hung.
  
• Help protect systems from malicious software attacks.

Cost-Effective, Personal Supercomputing
Entry-level one-way, dual-core Intel server platforms are ideal for building small, cost-effective HPC clusters that create high-performance, personal supercomputing solutions, or workgroup clusters. 64-bit computing, up to 8 GB of high-speed DDR2 memory per processor, and gigabit Ethernet LAN connectivity enable rapid solutions of the large, complex problems found in technical computing.

These new platforms provide energy-efficient performance, so you get high-end performance for thin or thick nodes at low power levels, keeping the costs of running your personal cluster low. The Intel Xeon processor 3000 sequence-based servers give you Intel server technologies for reliability, data protection, and easy management. You can solve tough problems for less cost than traditional cluster technologies with the dependability and integrity of Intel?s 20-year track record of delivering reliable, high-performance solutions.

Features
